Turkey continues military exercise on Iraqi border

Turkish Armed Forces continue their military exercises on its fifth day in the Silopi and Habur areas on the Iraqi border on September 22, 2017 in Sirnak, Turkey. The manoeuvers come a week before northern Iraq’s Kurdish region is due to hold an independence referendum that is opposed by Turkey and the wider international community. The area sits to the north of the Syrian and Iraqi borders and contains the Habur border crossing, which provides the Kurdish Regional Government in northern Iraq with its main access point to the outside world.
